Pattern determines the outcome. Steel magnate Carnegie once said: "It is a shame that a man will still be rich when he dies." Recently, stock investor Warren Buffett donated his 3.6 billion worth of stocks to five foundations.

, attracted everyone's attention.

In fact, this is not the first time he has donated property. In 2006, Buffett promised to donate 99% of his property.

With this donation, the amount has reached US$34 billion.

To do this kind deed, Buffett once believed that it was something that was beneficial to both others and himself.

As for the huge wealth, he looks at it in this way: happiness and wealth are not directly proportional, and people will not feel happy just because they are super rich.

This reminds me of our Chinese God of Wealth, Tao Zhugong-Fan Li.

As an ingenious counselor, he helped King Gou Jian of Yue to destroy the state of Wu, averting the humiliation of Kuaiji.

After achieving success and fame, I bravely retreated from the rapids and traveled among the mountains and rivers.

During the trip, he went into business three times and became rich three times, but each time he lost his wealth after getting rich.

Later generations praised him as: "Loyalty to the country, wisdom to protect one's life, business to get rich, and fame all over the world." Many businessmen in later generations enshrined his statue and called him the God of Wealth.

Although both 89-year-old Buffett and Tao Zhugong are extremely wealthy, they live such an open-minded and transparent life, which is admirable. In addition to their aura of being wealthy and businessmen, their pattern and thinking of accumulating and dispersing wealth are even more admirable.

.

Many people would say that they only became transparent and developed pattern thinking after becoming rich; but in fact!

It was they who first had a pattern and thinking, and continued to optimize the pattern and thinking as they grew, and then they became rich later.

Pattern and thinking determine the outcome and pave the way to ultimate success; rather than having pattern and thinking after success.

The difference between people lies in the pattern and thinking. The bigger the pattern of life, the more we can look at the big picture and belittle the immediate gains and losses; the stronger the thinking ability, the more capable we are of breakthroughs and innovations, and not being stubborn and rigid.

These two affect a person's life and are also important reasons for widening the gap between people.

I once watched a video interviewing Yu Minhong. In the program, he talked about an experience he and Jack Ma had together.

At that time, the two people who did not know each other were both in the United States and came into contact with the Internet almost at the same time. However, Yu Minhong wanted to go back and make a mailbox for the convenience of New Oriental employees. He did build a mailbox after he came back and was satisfied after that.

But Jack Ma was different. He thought of the Chinese Yellow Pages from the Internet, and thought of e-commerce from the Chinese Yellow Pages. He thought of letting Chinese people sell goods all over the world, making it easy to do business in the world, and finally founded China's largest e-commerce company.

Business company Alibaba.

During the interview, Yu Minhong humbly said that he is a person who is content with a small amount of money, while Jack Ma is a businessman with a big picture and innovative thinking.

Indeed, the bigger a person's situation is, the more he can take a long-term view and understand the development trend of things.

Pattern and vision can raise the upper limit of life and open up the hierarchy between people.

Coincidentally, Zhang Xiaolong, the creator of WeChat, has a famous saying - "Kindness is more important than intelligence." He launched WeChat in 2011.

At that time, there were several mobile social software that coexisted with WeChat, and the competition was fierce.

He could have "smartly" imported users of QQ, another social software owned by Tencent, directly into WeChat; however, Zhang Xiaolong chose to be kind. He just wanted users to carefully select who could become WeChat friends one by one.

In addition, everyone should be familiar with WeChat’s opening picture!

It is always a picture of "a man standing in front of the earth", simple and clean.

Just imagine, if you set up an open-screen advertisement, you can earn a lot of money in a day.

And many APP developers in the same industry think, "It's normal to sacrifice a little user experience in exchange for profits." But Zhang Xiaolong denied it again. He explained like this: "WeChat has been around for eight years. If WeChat was a person, it would

It must be your best friend that you are willing to spend so much time on it. How can I be willing to put an advertisement on your best friend's face?" It is precisely in line with this pattern of "kindness is more important than intelligence"?

Thinking made WeChat stand out in the subsequent period, leaving its opponents far behind and becoming the first billion-level APP.

The bigger the pattern, the newer the thinking, and the broader the road of life. The bigger the pattern of a person, the newer the thinking, the higher the upper limit of life, the more possibilities to pursue, and the broader the road to the future!

I saw a story before.

On a construction site, there were three construction workers who were building a wall together.

At this time, a child passed by and asked them curiously: What are you doing? The first construction worker didn't even raise his head and said angrily: "You don't even know this? We are building a wall!"

The second construction worker looked up and told the child: "We are building a house.
